Lake Home For Sale near Monte Verde Lake

There's living in the mountains... and then there's living above them. That's what 598 El Camino Real feels like, a ridge-top perch where the world opens up in every direction. The first thing you notice are the views. They're not *pretty* views... they're the kind that stop you mid-sentence because your brain needs a second to catch up. Eagles glide past the deck like they own the place, and sunsets spill across the peaks in colors that never look the same twice. The home itself has this easy, comfortable mountain energy, nothing fussy, nothing trying too hard. Just light, space, warmth, and that feeling of, yeah... I could stay here awhile. With three levels, vaulted ceilings, and windows that frame the landscape like giant art pieces, it's built for people who want room to gather but also room to wander off and breathe. One of the best parts? Two separate living areas, each with its own kitchen. It's perfect for extended family, guests who love to linger, or days when everyone needs their own rhythm. There's even a loft with a half bath that feels like the perfect retreat for reading, working, or hiding with a blanket when the weather turns dramatic. Outside, the wooded lot gives you that classic Angel Fire feeling, tucked into the trees, surrounded by quiet, yet close enough to town to keep life easy. It's the kind of property where morning coffee happens on the deck because the clouds literally drift below you. And evenings? They're for slowing down, watching the sky catch fire, and reminding yourself that yes... you really do live here now. Life on this mountain top moves at a different pace. A better one. There's space to breathe, space to reset, space to remember what matters. Whether you're hosting a crowd for ski weekends or sneaking away for peaceful summers, this home stretches to fit whatever season of life you're in. If you've been craving a mountain escape that feels both elevated and deeply grounding, a place with perspective, privacy, and that *wow* moment every time you step outside, this chalet on El Camino Real is ready to welcome you ine stand on that deck. The mountain will do the rest.
